At The University of North Carolina Cystic Fibrosis and Pulmonary Research and Treatment Center, basic research is underway to improve our understanding of Cystic Fibrosis. A wide array of approaches are being utilized with the hopes of discovering new treatment breakthroughs. Particular areas of interest include: airway epithelial cell biology, transgenic animals, gene therapy for CF lung disease, airway epithelial mucin secretion biology, mediators of inflammation in the airway epithelium, epithelial ion transport, mucociliary clearance, and extracellular nucleotide receptors.

Below are brief summaries of each faculty member's specific interests, as well as links to detailed descriptions of their ongoing research, recent publications, and information about their laboratories.
